Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a reagent for simple and rapid determination of cations.
  • the qualitative and quantitative determination of cations is of major significance in areas such as chemical and biochemical engineering for process control, in agriculture chemistry for soil research and fertilizer metering and in medicine for diagnostic and therapeutic determination of the potassium-sodium ratio.
  • Present methods for cation determination include flame photometry and atomic absorption spectroscopy, both of which require sophisticated apparatus.
  • lon-sensitive cation electrodes on an ion-exchange basis generally yield sufficiently differentiated results, but are cumbersome to use.
  • Vogtle. United States patent no. 4,367,072 describes a process for determining ions. It is essentially based on ion-selective complexing between the ion to be determined and a complexing agent and measurement of the extinction change occurring during complexing.
  • the complexing agent is bonded with a chromophore.
  • the selective complexing agent may be an oligoether, oligoester or oligoamide, containing, for example, corand, cryptand or cyclic peptide and/or polyethylene glycol groups or other hetero atom-containing groups.
  • the covalently or heteropolarly bound chromophore is a dye or fluorescent dye or a chromagen whose absorption spectra change through interaction with non-polar ions or lipophilic molecules through charge shifts or disturbances of the mesomeric system. This principle is well known in nature and in the art. Hemin, chlorophyll and metal complex dyes and metal indicators (e.g. xylenol orange and methylthymol blue based on the colorless complexing agent ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)) exhibit, to a greater or lesser extent, this general configuration.
  • EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid
  • a general problem of the above-cited complexing agents is that they usually are capable of reacting only in organic media, whereas the ion being determined is, as a rule, present in an aqueous solution.
  • the aqueous solutions of the ions could be transformed in many cases to organic media by concentration, inclusion in organic salts, or solvent extraction, this would not satisfy the requirements of a practical and, if necessary, automated rapid method.
  • Klink et al., European Patent Publication 85.320, disclose a potassium reagent and a procedure for determining potassium ions.
  • the potassium ions are determined in a reaction medium consisting of water and at least one water-miscible organic solvent and in the presence of an organic base.
  • Klink et al. do not recognize the need for sodium ion masks in EP 85,320. They provide extinction maxima data of various cations, and state that aside from the extinction maxima for rubidium, all other extinction maxima for the various cations tested are so far removed from potassium's extinction maxima that no interference occurs. However, Klink et al. base their conclusion on data obtained from isolated cation measurements, and fail to contemplate the effect on extinction maxima for these cations in mixed cation solutions. Contrary to the conclusion reached by Klink et al., a sodium ion mask greatly enhances determination of potassium ions using chromogenic cryptands described in EP 85,320.
  • the present invention is directed to compounds, reagents and methods which permit rapid determination of cations in single-phase aqueous media, wherein the improvement comprises use of one or more interfering cation complexing compound masks.
  • Certain cryptands have high selectivity for complexing with cations and, if coupled with chromophores, yield intensive color reactions that can be evaluated analytically. Determination of cations is enhanced by using reagents of the present invention which contain one or more interfering cation complexing compound masks.
  • reagents and methods of the invention are effective for determining potassium ion concentration of a sample comprising a mixture of potassium and sodium ions.
  • Reagents and methods of the invention are also effective for determining sodium ion concentration of a sample which comprises a large amount of sodium ions, wherein a predetermined quantity of sodium ions is screened from reacting with the chromogenic cryptand by complexing with a predetermined quantity of one or more sodium complexing compound masks.
  • Such reagents and methods are useful in determining sodium ion concentration in undiluted samples such as serum samples drawn directly from a patient.
  • Reagents and methods of the invention are effective for determining sodium ion concentration of a sample comprising a mixture of sodium and potassium ions.
  • a reagent for determining an amount of cations present in a sample comprising
  • the invention also includes a method of determining cations in a sample, which comprises combining with said sample a reagent as defined, and measuring the absorbance of the resulting solution.
  • a reagent of the invention is used and. before contact with the sample, the reagent is added to a device comprising a dimensionally stable, uniformly porous, diffusely reflective single or multi-layer formed of a polymeric matrix: the water is evaporated from the reagent mixture; the sample is added to the device; and the reflectance of the device is measured.
  • Suitable interfering cation complexing compound masks are non-chromogenic and include spherands. hemispherands, cryptahemispherands, cryptands, and corands.
  • Spherands, hemispherands, and cryptahemispherands which are structurally oriented so as to complement a particular cation are preferred in the present invention.
  • Such masks may be referred to as "pre- organized”.
  • Cryptands and corands which have cavity sizes matching particular cation diameters are also preferred in the present invention.
  • suitable masks include but are not limited to where each of R 1 ,R 2 ,R 3 ,R 4 ,R 5 ,R 6 ,R 7 ,R 8 ,R 9 , R 10 ,R 11 , and R 12 , is independently hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower aryl, lower alkenyl, allyl or lower alkylidine.
